Bhutto, it seems, has been forced to respond to the demands of her people over pursuing her own interests. Musharraf may have announced elections, but Bhutto is starting to understand democracy...
...Zoloft” or “The HIV Song.” Ween has turned from pitching out pleasurable bunk and shrewd criticism to basically just compiling drivel. On a redeeming note, “La Cucaracha” does emphasize the musical prowess of this tireless group of oddballs. Though their foray into reggae in “The Fruit Man” is somewhat drab, they show themselves as masterful mimics of the country music style in “Learnin’ to Love” and channel such artists as Cher, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie...
